This chapter highlights the role of the courts and judges in the constitutional order in Britain. When Britain became a member of the European Union (EU), the power to set limits to the unlimited power of the parliament to make and unmake UK law was enjoyed by the courts and judges. This power was handed to them by the European Communities Act 1972 and the European Court of Justice. The jurisprudence of Britain and Europe became intertwined from 1973 onwards.
